Aurasma

Second Grade and Third Grade students have been working with the Augmented Reality App, Aurasma.  Students created a target image and then recorded themselves to make their picture "come to life!" 

2nd Grade:  Students printed a two-digit number using Microsoft Office Word changing the color, size, and font.  They then wrote addition and subtraction equations to arrive at their target number.  Students practice presenting with a partner and then recorded their presentation in the Aurasma App.
3rd Grade:  Students have studied joints and bones in science class.  They then drew a joint and/or bone using Tux Paint or art materials.  They wrote information they've learned and recorded their presentations in Aurasma.

Students were able to practice speaking, listening, presentation skills, and connect to content areas in their grade level.  Teachers are able to use the end product for formative assessments.

The Aurasma App is FREE and you can download it to watch their pictures hanging outside their classrooms come to life!

PD-PDQ & Kahoot

After the conference, techies and media folks all around the county are working together.  Tech and media teachers at Lake Myra ES have started this off by posting a short video on YouTube about Kahoot.  Here is the email they shared with us today: 
"Hey techies and media folks:
We've gotten jazzed up after Wonder Wake.  In response to our teachers pleas for professional development, the tech facilitator and I are doing weekly flipped PD videos focusing on fast strategies while incorporating technology.  It's Professional Development... pretty darn quick.  Here is our first try on formative assessments with Kahoot. ... Our format is Leaders SOAR (Show, Options, Actions, Reach-out) as we want our staff to know what to expect each time and we will try to keep them under 5 minutes."

Kahoot is similar to the clickers that some of you use in your classrooms, but you create the questions and students answer on devices.  ANY device.  This can be done whole group, small groups, or as individuals.  Check out the video and let me know what you think.  If you need some help getting started or using Kahoot, let me know!
What do you think about this format, PD-PDQ?  Is it something that you find valuable, would you like something similar for other tools at our school? 
**Tip:  Be sure that your students are looking at the screen where you are projecting the questions.  Their device doesn't show the question, only colors/shapes for the answers.

Check out the video and let me know what you think.  If you need some help getting started or using Kahoot, let me know!  What do you think about this format, PD-PDQ?  Is it something that you find valuable, would you like something similar for other tools at our school?
